NEET Physics Equilibrium of Forces MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the equilibrium of forces is correct?
For a particle to be in equilibrium, the vector sum of all forces acting on it must be zero.
Equilibrium can only be achieved with two forces acting on a particle.
A particle is in equilibrium if the forces acting on it are not concurrent.
Forces in equilibrium must act in the same direction to cancel each other out.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct because it directly relates to the principle of equilibrium where the vector sum of all forces must equal zero. Statements B, C, and D reflect misconceptions about the conditions necessary for equilibrium.
